The Hackaday vintage edition hasn’t been updated in a while, as well as for that I am extremely sorry. Still, digging with my email exposes rather a great deal of extremely great vintage computers that were able to tons the vintage edition over the Internet, as well as it would be a terrible pity to let these remarkable submissions die in my inbox. Without further adieu, right here are the very best vintage computers that have been sent in over the last few months:
[Scott] got his Mac SE to tons up the vintage edition. This was a chore; after getting a serial connection from his SE to the outside world, [Scott] realized he didn’t have a browser on his vintage mac. 800k drives are a pain, it seems. He ultimately got whatever running in a terminal session, as well as the vintage edition packed beautifully.
How about one more Mac? this is [Raymond]’s Mac II, the very first not-all-in-one Macintosh. NuBus Ethernet card, Netscape 2.02, as well as 26 years of history behind this machine.
Here’s a weird one: it’s a Siemens interactive display originally utilized for a building administration display. It has a 10 inch touch screen screen at 640×480 resolution as well as runs Windows CE 5.0. After fiddling with some files, [Nick] handled to get the networking running on this machine as well as tried to tons Google. anyone who has played around with the class of machines we seen for vintage submissions understands what occurred next (nothing), however luckily [Nick] kept in mind Hackaday has a vintage site. The rest is history.
[Kyle] has a truly great box on his hands. It’s a Compaq 486SX overclocked from 25MHz to 33MHz. 20 Megabytes of RAM, network card, as well as a Soundblaster 16 make this computer from 1993 a extremely respectable box for old DOS gaming. It can likewise search the web with Arachne.
Finally, [cnlohr], the guy who made his own electron microscope never mind, he’s still awesome and can manufacture glass PCBs at home, discovered an old eco-friendly screen CRT while cleaning out a friend’s place. He hooked it as much as one of his glass PCB AVR microcontroller things and did the usual text terminal fare; ASCII star Wars with telnet as well as utilizing lynx to tons up the vintage site. It’s only a 48-column display, however the vintage edition is surprisingly readable. extremely cool.
